Does anyone know whether it's appropriate to submit a receipt for airplane wi-fi?

It's hard for me to imagine they would care - I know hotel internet is kosher, and if they're already paying over $1000 for your flight (as mine was)... But I guess it isn't a "necessity" like hotel Internet might be.

cbs already went out for this secondary market firm where i made a strong connection with one of their lawyers at a reception. I didnt get a cb but i also didnt get a ding yet. Is it tacky to send out an email to him saying nice ot meet you, thanks for talking to me blah blah or should i wait for ding

[Anonymous User]

1) yes it's tacky to send that email

2) yes it's tacky to bill upgrades etc on flights

But on the other hand, who cares? A firm isn't going to care about the wifi reimbursement and it's not going to help to email the interviewer, but it's not going to damn you either.

Jones Day NY CBs went out last week. Rejections take longer to get out, usually.

For those of you who are not getting CBs, remember that the key is to stay positive and keep at it. There were people last year who ended up at some of the most respected firms in the country after striking out at OCI. Broaden your search and try to use any connections you have.

No one gains anything from being rude to each other on here. Represent Michigan well.

Also, it's odd to bill a firm for in flight wifi. There's no real reason you need access to it. But I would hold off on sending in for reimbursement until after you get an offer or not to avoid any impact.

One issue I am running into with mass-mailing/trying to make connections post-OCI is that the substantial majority of good firms in areas I have ties to already came to OCI. Is it kosher or effective to contact firms who came to OCI but that I did not bid on?
